As you all now see I try to use this site for motivation and team building and normally there is a quote at the top,
This quote sums up how football should be played its simple
Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.
Bill Shankly

If you don’t have confidence, you’ll always find a way not to win.”
- Carl Lewis
I was looking for an inspirational quote and when I found this one it hit home to me that I always have confidence in what I do or try to do,
I always believe that I will succeed and that is how I saw Greenfield as a team last season
I was confident that we would get promoted and have a succesful season,
Every week I had confidence that you would play well and give your all and once you all started to believe in your self we had a great run untill end of the season.
This season we must do it week in and week out, every week we will be the team to beat, we are the side that every one gets the most pleasure in beating,
When you play for Greenfield you have to live with this and be up for the challenge.
Each week we cannot relax or take it easy we must get promote this season there is not a second option !!!
You all raised the bar last season so there will no longer be excuses all you need is the confidence in yourself that I have in you.

Team talk on this quote if you havent already seen it
After Seasons of waiting Greenfield Royal Oak were in their first Cup Final, Football is all about History and every member of the squad should be proud to be a part of this Day.
Everyone has worked hard over the years and finally the Club has achieved its first recognition.
There was a lot of hard work going into the Day and a special word should be made for Both The Royal Oak and Johnson Controls for their magnificent efforts in making sure we were well turned out for the Day.
Making our first final is disappointing when lost but the praise that went our way was satisfying but unfortunately could not take the taste of defeat away.
The experience is now something that we should now strive for each season, we are now no longer a nearly club, the first is always the hardest but once achieved is the new level for each season.
The positives from the game was we were the better side on the Day, this was even relayed to us from the Etwall Manager and most of the crowd.
Our expectation and experience levels have now gone up which we need to maintain next season.
On this final note I would like to thank each and every one of you for the effort and commitment shown last season,
I know I also speak on behalf of Bryan when I say that even when things were tough you all came through
We had more highs than lows and for a small squad you done us proud and you should also be proud of yourselves
Dave

TODAYS THOUGHT
One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar:
CUP CAMPAIGNE
Without any doubt the highlight of our season was the magnificent cup run, which saw us, have to play 12 matches.
Considering our small squad the achievement was even greater than appears on paper
Every member of the squad played a vital part in our run, which culminated in the final of the Divisional cup.
We have to go back a long way to our first match against Whittington in the Midland Co-Op Cup where we had a great 3-2 win, this was not the first time we would visit this ground, as I am sure Whittington were now hating the sight of our arrival.
Next came Burton F.C in the Junior Challenge Cup where a resounding 8-1 win saw us go through to then next round
Sandwiched in between came the Derby Junior Cup where we were very unlucky to lose a hard contested game in extra time
The next round in the Midland Co-Op was soon upon us and we were drawn at home to Hilton Athletic Res where another good 5-2 win had us progressing even further.
Our Cup Campaign was beginning to take shape and we were progressing well, Unfortunately we had now only played 2 games in the league which we had lost both of these games Blackfordby 5-1 and Etwall 4-1, we were now becoming the Jeckle and Hyde of Football,
As I mentioned yesterday I should have acted faster.
The Junior Challenge Cup was our next task to overcome when we were drawn against The Thorntree,
In this game you were outstanding the game was always going to be hard thought match, and we were now beginning to think and act like a well organised Football Team.
The Thorntree had a much bigger agenda than us they made more of the game than was there, for us it was no more than another football match but they fell into the very unprofessional trap of playing the occasion and not the match, we came through with a thoroughly deserved 4-1 win,
This was credit to you all as you played exactly to the instructions that Bryan and myself had set out
Our next Cup outing was at home to The Seal Inn where again we came through worthy 3-2 winners to progress to the next round of our Divisional Cup.
At this stage we were now thinking we were unbeatable; all could have collapsed around us as it was possibly we could become over-confident.
The next test was against the Drum and Monkey where reasons only known to them was twice postponed and then we were asked to play the fixture on our ground.
Again we played this as just another game where they made the mistake of making the game much bigger ( it was just another round ) My biggest memory of the game was while they were doing all kind of warm ups and circus tricks some of our side stood on the half way line having a smoke and watching them, ( even I could not have come up with a better mind game)
You were now learning the art of being mentally strong in how to beat your opponents,
In a hard contest we came through worthy 2-1 winners to see us move into the next round which would see us play Willington,
While all this was going on we were now at the end of the year and had only played 5 league matches and were sitting with 6 points
TOMORROW THE SECOND HALF OF OUR CUP SEASON
Where again we had to visit Whittington

TODAYS THOUGHT
(and for next season)
Dont look back. Something might be gaining on you.
-Satchel Paige
Over the next few Days I will run over last season’s performance, I should have done this on our presentation evening but here we are better late than never,
I will start with our league form and tomorrow I run through our Cup campaigns.
Our league form was very patchy which I must take the responsibility, all season we were running through the motivation side before each game we turned up for the big games but unfortunately I took my eye off the ball on some of our matches.
I pushed you hard towards the end of the season when setting goals, which you all responded to.
If there is a lesson to be learned It just show that there can never be less than 100% commitment on every occasion and in every game,
I promise you that will never happen again On the plus side we finished in a better position than last season which was a credit to you all, when most sides were switching off with little to play for you were competitive until the last match again I just wonder what would have happened if I had pushed you harder.
I also mentioned earlier that I would take you all out of your comfort zones, I believe that you are never the complete Footballer until you play and witness what is needed from positions you are alien to, and to fully understand what you teammates have to do in their position,
I believe that most of you have benefited from the experience I could run through every player individually but the outstanding part of this season was the way virtually every squad member when asked to play a different role done so not only without any problems but always stepped up to the mark.
Football is all about being able to play all around the park I was possibly more confident that you had the ability than you had yourself
My style of Management has possibly been different from what you have been used to because once the preseason is over there is little time to do any ball work or get together it is all about reasons to win each match.
I have been fortunate because as a team you all responded when we gave you the will and confidence to win and in the big games you all came up to the mark.
Our Final League Position was disappointing as we all know there were games that we didn’t turn up which is something that has to approached next season
We finished 6th in the league
P W D L F A Pts G/ Diff
20 9 3 8 62 44 30 18
I have listed some of the games which we should have won as you can see I have ignored Etwall, Blackfordby and Whittington
The matches that did concern me were
Seal Inn Lost 2-1 home
The Sump Lost 2-1 away
New Inn Drew 5-5 home
Moira Drew 1-1 home
New Inn Lost 3-0 away
These were 5 matches that we should have gained maximum points I think you will all agree this should have been the case
We would then have finished on 43 points, which is equal with Whittington and 6 points more than Blackfordby. With the league restructure this would have given us promotion
If you now look at the 2 Blackfordby matches and the game away to Etwall we only needed 4 points from these games to have won the league.
The Team I admire most were the Sump who quietly went about the season in my opinion were not the best side, but after losing to New Inn they then went on to take 12 points from there last 5 matches giving them the Championship.
There are lessons to learn for next season and we have to be up for the Challenge,
Like it or not we are the team that everyone wants to beat and to get over this we must become hard to beat some times we were too easy Tomorrow our Cup Runs

TODAYS QUOTATION
You have to be able to centre yourself, to let all of your emotions go. Don’t ever forget that you play with your soul as well as your body.
~Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
This is my final blog now until after the presentation but there is just one thing that I am asking you all to do, I spoke to a few of you on Sunday about personal goals before next season starts.
I will be asking you all to write down you own personal goals and what you hope to achieve and get out of the season and then we will open them up after the final game.
There can be one goal or as many as you want and if achieved will make you a better player.
If everyone reaches their goals along with my goals for the club the results will be frightening.
Goals should always be like this
(1) Be achievable
(2) But stretch you to the limits
(3) And the when you are to your limit the normal sportsman stops winners carry on
Goals I will set myself
(1) To have more points than the team who have won the league this season
(2) To score more goals than they did
(3) To concede less than them
(4) Every week our goal difference in the league will be in a plus position
(5) None of our opposition will have taken more than 1 point off us after we have played them twice
(6) Never let you relax
(7) When you are achieving all my goals find more
(8) And Finally win promotion in 2011 when I am 60
Setting goals do work when most sides stopped this season with little or nothing to play for,
We still had the determination to carry on and win convincingly

The country is full of good coaches. What it takes to win is a bunch of interested players.
-Don Coryell, ex-San Diego C
NEW LINK AT TOP THE TEAM TALK I WISH I HAD MADE
Moira on Sunday will be a difficult game but in a football sense it was our turning point of the season when we played them earlier,
Bryan and myself took a chance on a formation, which did seem negative but you all performed exactly as we had hoped,
I changed the formation again against Whittington and I could not have been more proud we have had our ups and downs this season with results but what ever the outcome as a team you have trusted us when we have asked you to do something different.
This season I was determined to bring more into you game as a team and also as individual players It has been hard work for all of us but you have all improved your game, It has been easier for myself as Bryans input gave me extra time to look at other things.
As you are all aware Bryan will not be available for most of our remaining Sunday matches, but I can assure you all that his input is still there and hasn’t changed
BELOW IS A SMALL SECTION OF THE REPORT I WROTE WHEN WE LAST PLAYED MOIRA
It would be unfair to mention any one player, as that was without any doubt the best team performance I have ever seen from Greenfield.
Moira had no answer to our midfield and on the few occasions that they did break through our defence was outstanding, when this system is played correctly as it was today their back four had to look after one man giving us extra in midfield and to add to that four of our midfield player got on the score sheet.
To have a loner striker scoring a hat trick and six more goals coming from midfield was outstanding.
Our goal tally of 3 from Shane, another hat trick from Batsey along with Taffy Darren and Tyso gave us exactly what we deserved.
Our season is not over and we cannot switch off, I am determined that we go unbeaten when we achieve my target of 8 games without defeat we can all say it was a worthwhile and a successful season.

Hi Dave,
It was a pleasure reading your stuff; I found it very inspirational, as, I am sure, and do your players. I loved your quotes – I almost “borrowed ” them lol.
Roy added this link thought you might enjoy it!!

It’s not whether you win or lose – but whether I win or lose.
~Sandy Lyle
We will be going into Sundays match with a few injuries but I am positive that this will not disturb our focus on winning the match,
Through the season we have run on a small squad, which meant that most of you have played in numerous positions,
We will now see the benefit from this, I have always believed that Footballers should be able to play anywhere around the park,
I know we will come through this and collect another 3 points and go on to 4 games unbeaten.
We are then half way to my target I won’t let you relax until the final whistle of the last match

Dave,
Thanks for visiting my blog. What an inspirational blog you have – your players are really lucky.
I wish you luck for the rest of the season.

TODAYS THOUGHT
Winning isn’t overrated – it’s your acceptance of being rated.
~Carrie Latet
Last nights win against Yoxhall was very satisfying on two accounts,
First I was very pleased with the attitude, which continued from the Whittington game, on many occasions this season we have fallen back after a good performance but last night everyone in the squad put in a sound and professional shift,
It could have been difficult with all the rushing around to get there and then the knowledge that playing the bottom of the league side could have been easy but you all performed to the level we have been asking.
Secondly the 3 points saw us move up one position towards my target of finishing 5th.
A victory on Sunday will establish us firmly in 7th as well as moving onto a 4 match unbeaten run,
Our second target is to finish the season 8 matches unbeaten, Sunday against Moira will put us half way there, but make no mistake we cannot take our foot off the gas as last week they beat Blackfordby and they will be out to revenge the 9-2 defeat of our last game.
Sunday will also be difficult as we picked up another 2 injuries, I will be looking for everyone to dig deep and put in performances that will give credit to you all,
There is still everything to play for, we can still make this our most successfully season.
At present we have a goal difference of plus 8 I would like this to go to double figures after Sunday and stay there
YOUR TARGET SHOULD BE FOR THE SEASON
1-Cup Final
2-Quarter Finals
League Position 5th
Final 8 matches unbeaten
Goal difference of Double figures
THE SEASON IS NOT OVER
